Yamato Homei

There seems to be a person in Europe interested in this information.

Mr. Yamato Homei is a Kinko player and maker. He studied with Master Yamaguchi Goro. He joined several of Yamaguchi's recordings. His shakuhachi is similar to that of Yamaguchi Shiro (with rough surface of the bore).

He graduated from the University of Tokyo and became a teacher at a university-prep school.

His website is: http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~houmei/

It's probably best to see an excerpt from his upcoming DVD on Youtube.

Part of my commitment to the shakuhachi world is to introduce hidden knowledge that is not easily accessible from the outside. I met many shakuhachi people in Japan during my fieldwork. Their insights are too precious to be buried. Somebody needs to write them down.
